Steak bites are one of my favorite gluten free appetizers, and giving them a spooky Halloween twist is fun and delicious! Chunks of beef are simply seasoned and seared, then served with a blood red dipping sauce, reminiscent of a classic Bloody Mary cocktail, but made with red wine instead of vodka.

The Hubby and I have been banned from having Halloween costume parties anymore. Not because we aren’t good at throwing parties, but because the one time we did throw a Halloween costume party, it was so epic that we were told there is no way that we could ever possibly achieve the same level of fun and excitement again. We had been dating for only a few months but felt like it was time to host our first joint fete, The Hubby’s roommate moved out several months prior, taking most of the furniture with him, leaving lots of space for dancing and chit chatting, and our coworkers were hinting around that they wanted to have a little Halloween fun, but nobody else was stepping up to the plate. So the challenge was laid, and we totally stepped up. People did not stop talking about this party for months, I tell you. Months! The dimmed lights and spooky music and creepy decorations. The snacks and treats and drinks galore. The costumes…

You guys, the costumes! All of our friends dressed up. It was basically mandatory for entry. And we aren’t talking throw a sheet over your head or buy a black pointy hat from the store. One woman pulled out a full-on ball gown to be the most gorgeous princess you can imagine. Others broke out the sewing machines and hot glue guns to transform themselves into bottles of their favorite adult beverages. One guy grew out his hair for a month so that he could shave a mohawk to be Mr. T. The resemblance was uncanny.

A MOHAWK, PEOPLE!!! (Side note, by Monday at work he was bald).

Well, new job for the Hubby, new home in a new state – this means a whole new set of potential party attendees. I think it’s time to pull the spiderwebs and spooky decorations out of the storage boxes to see if we can reclaim our prior level of Halloween awesomeness, and I will most certainly her serving these…

Steak Bites with Bloody Maria Dipping Sauce

Steak Bites with Bloody Maria Dipping Sauce will definitely be a hit with your friends. Chunks of beef are simply seasoned and seared, then served with a blood red dipping sauce reminiscent of the classic Bloody Mary, but made with Gallo Family Merlot instead of vodka. The tomato and red wine sauce is reduced to concentrate the rich flavors, then given a little bit of a kick of flavor and spice with Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Serve your steak with some stakes (skewers that I cut into smaller pieces) so that your guests can have a little Halloween fun giving their meat a bloody bath before sinking their fangs, um, I mean teeth, into these delicious little nibbles.

Maybe not as impressive as shaving your head all for the sake of a Halloween costume, but still darn good.

Hello sweet lady! This looks incredible. Pinned. We appreciate you taking the time to party with us. We hope to see you on Monday at 7 pm. We love partying with you!http://loulougirls.blogspot.com/ Happy Monday! Lou Lou Girls

Your party sounds fab and brought back memories of a party I threw years and years and YEARS ago. My friend, who was 6’4″ anyway, taped 2 x 4’s to his shoes and his wife made a square head for him so he could come as Frankenstein complete with black flat top and green skin and bolts in the neck. She of course was the bride of Frankenstein with the crazy white striped up do and dead white make-up. SO much fun!!! I wish we could get together and throw a bash with your steak bites, my risotto, and scary good costumes!!
